Not sure if any of you has had this issue. The connecting pipe to the exhaust leaks under throttle on both sides. Granted it is very little and is probably not detrimental, but it bothered me. Try as I might to adjust in every possible orientation I could not stop the leak. So.....

I know that mine leaks as well but it is minor. Will this honestly cause the car to lose power? I think at this point in the exhaust system a minor leak will not cause much problems. I dynoed the car a few months ago on a dynojet and got 332whp and 248wtq SAE corrected, so I wonder if the low numbers could be attributed to this or my AFE filter...

The whole process took 15 minutes and 25 bucks. Why should anyone live with a leak on a $2500 exhaust?

It sucks that for the M3 you can pay $2,800 for a muffler with exhaust tips, have to cut your stock exhaust pipes, clamp it to them, and then have an exhaust leak. You can buy an entire exhaust system from the headers back for a C6 corvette for that cost! It won't leak either!

I say this, and I just bought the Akrapovic exhaust system!

Andy, your point is accurate. These were not with the stock pipes though. These included the Eisenmann connecting pipes.

That is even worse! You paid even more for the connecting pipes that don't come with the expensive exhaust, and it leaks! I am dumbfounded. I am not sure how Eisenmann justifies the costs? It does not cost anywhere near that to make this exhaust. My guess is that they are making at least 200% profit on these, which is ridiculous.
